Definitely two 73’s came up on 1Y11 and then went to Tulloch and returned with the coach.Was the loco off the sleeper that recovered the coach at tulloch no second 73 was there or required.

Both southbound sleepers parked up near Leyland having been terminated due to OHL problems on WCML.
I assume you mean 92sCould be, there were GBRf liveried 90's on the front of both trains when I passed on the diverted Avanti 9T52.
Will be interesting how it gets on as its path is via the WCML so depends whether the lines are still blocked or not.
Sorry yes it's been a long morning...I assume you mean 92s

According to RTT, 5M11 is hauled by 92038 with 5M16 having 92020 and 92043 at he helm.Just seen 5M11 passing Leyland, destination Wembley. Looks like 5M16 following .
TGBRF loco hauling it, long train , 16 carriages
Had the Sleeper through Linlithgow at around 8:00 this morning, heading North. It left London an hour late and lost more time at Carlisle. Is this down to staff shortages?
That's a pretty way off assumption to be honest; the uncoupling moves were completed in Edinburgh this morning in pretty quick time. The train was late due to losing over 3 hours elsewhere.Could be IF lack of qualified people to uncouple/couple up stock at Edinburgh due to Covid-19 ???

Lots of wild theories, but nothing to do with COVID-19. Just the usual Mk5s causing issues... coach fault meant the brakes kept coming on. Pretty much the same issue that impacted 1M11 on Friday and caused it to be heavily delayed then cancelled at Wigan. May or may not be a link.Thats a pretty way off assumption to be honest the uncoupling moves were completed in edinburgh this mornning in pretty quick time the train was late due to losing over 3 hours elsewhere.

Not correct. The Glasgow and Inverness portions are joining at Edinburgh. Passengers from Edinburgh can join there. It will then run as one combined train to Euston in the highlander path.Fort William & Aberdeen services cancelled to 30th May.

This is because the Inverness train has a different retail service ID from the Glasgow train and there is no option in the current national reservation system to move en masse all the bookings. They would have to be moved one by one.Yes, rather confusing.
After 26th if you were travelling on the Lowlander your booking's been cancelled... but you can rebook?

Only the Fort William and Aberdeen portions are completely cancelled. Glasgow has revised timings; Edinburgh is just using the Glasgow coaches (so late boarding / early alighting) and Inverness is unchanged. It is using the highlander path from Edinburgh to London (and vice versa).
Well that's my late May Bank Holiday Glasgow trip messed up with the lowlander cancelled. A quick check on the website and it seems the tickets for the Inverness portion have sold out or have been removed from sale.
It’s not cancelled. It’s running. Your booking is cancelled and you have been refunded. The train is currently empty. Ring them up to rebook. Or just do it online.Well that's my late May Bank Holiday Glasgow trip messed up with the lowlander cancelled.

Yes, sorry, I forgot - it will take a bit of time to get the new timetables and retail service IDs to match up again. Please be patient.Website is saying " no service" for the 21st May (when putting either Glasgow & Edinburgh) with the only thing available if you select Inverness is a club berth with nothing if you select Stirling

Unlikely, especially if people are still making discretionary trips.Hopefully by the end of May things might have improved
